Haymarket

Single Barrel

When thinking steak and whiskey, it’s hard to not think of the Single Barrel. They’re a steak joint named after a whiskey process. I don’t know if I need to say anything else. Need more? The whiskey they specialize in is Bourbon and the Bourbon selection is excellent. The Bourbon review named them one of … Continue reading "Single Barrel"




LeadBelly

Leadbelly’s version of chili & cinnamon roll, the fully leaded jacket, isn’t your traditional combo. It’s a “burger” that has cinnamon roll buns and chili all over the top with chips and jalapenos. If you’d like (and I do), add a fried egg and some chorizo to make it a breakfast leaded jacket. I know … Continue reading "LeadBelly"




Downtown

Green Gateau

The Green Gateau has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. The start the day with one of my go-to spots for breakfast. Have a really nice lunch vibe, but manage to wrap it all together and are one of the better dinner spots in town. The interior vibe is reminds me of … Continue reading "Green Gateau"




North East

Piedmont Bistro

Piedmont Bistro is owned by the Venue, and that gives them a very good start. It is the Venu’s take on a bit of a different vibe, i.e., a bistro. I think they’ve nailed it. Breakfast When thinking about breakfast or brunch, the Piedmont Bistro is at the top of the list. Go early or … Continue reading "Piedmont Bistro"




Le Quartier Baking Co

You will find Le Quartier in many other restaurants across Lincoln because they make really good bread that makes really good sandwiches. But you can also go in and buy the bread yourself to make your own sandwiches, or try one of Le Quartier’s creations. Also, they have great breakfast, so just go in already.




Engine House Cafe

Great atmosphere: check, it’s in an old Engine House. Great Breakfast, also check. It has been voted best in Lincoln for breakfast and I think it’s worth the title.




South West

Pepe’s Bistro

I have been really impressed with Pepe’s and it just happens to be Vegan. The things that get me excited about any restaurant is 1) a creative menu which changes often & 2) these specials come from the creative mind of an on-site chef. Of course neither of those two matter if 3) the resulting … Continue reading "Pepe’s Bistro"




Tina’s Cafe

Tina’s Cafe is a dynamite cafe on it’s own, but as far as I’m concerned, it is known for it’s cinnamon rolls. Who has the best cinnamon rolls in town? Tina’s. The rolls are huge (you will be taking some home), made from scratch and have got some national recognition by being featured on BTN’s … Continue reading "Tina’s Cafe"




The Chocolate Season Chocolaterie & Espresso Bar

If you didn’t get this from their name, the Chocolate Season is a really good place to get some Chocolate. I tend to visit for Coffee since their Coffee shop space is really nice. When they do breakfast or lunch, it has always been good … make sure you keep an eye out for their … Continue reading "The Chocolate Season Chocolaterie & Espresso Bar"




South East

Greenfield’s Cafe

When I think of Greenfield’s, I think of Breakfast. If I were to send you to Greenfields, it would be for breakfast, because they do it really well. But they are worth a visit outside of breakfast too. Just an overall solid place to eat.




Good Evans Breakfast & Lunch

The Good Evans concept is to “bring a more chef-inspired menu and vibe to breakfast and lunch” and it just so happens that is the sort of thing I look for. In my experience, they have accomplished their goal, which leaves two reasons you should visit: 1) you will find something a little (but not … Continue reading "Good Evans Breakfast & Lunch"




The Eatery

One of my favorite childhood restaurants was the Sunday buffet at the North Pantry. My mom also talks often about how much she enjoyed being a server at the South Pantry in high school ages ago. Why does this apply to The Eatery? Well, to me it is very relevant because The Eatery is in … Continue reading "The Eatery"
